Scientists are dropping thousands of fish from airplanes into remote mountain lakes; here's why the unusual conservation strategy has worked for decades
Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources stocks remote mountain lakes by dropping fish from airplanes. This method efficiently reaches inaccessible waters, maintaining fish populations for anglers. Tiny trout and other species are released, with survival rates exceeding ninety-five percent. Biologists carefully select species, often using sterile fish to control numbers and protect native ecosystems....
Thousands of idle ships trapped near the Strait of Hormuz could become floating nurseries for invasive marine species
Ships lingering in the Persian Gulf could unintentionally facilitate the spread of harmful marine invaders worldwide. Extended anchorage allows marine organisms to thrive on the hulls, creating significant biofouling concerns that threaten global maritime commerce. These invasive species can inflict extensive ecological and economic harm on coastal areas. It is imperative for nations to join force...

Scientists claim Moon is drifting away from Earth at 3.8 centimetres a year. What will happen to the planet as it goes further?
The Moon is gradually distancing itself from Earth, which has significant implications for our planet. Over millions of years, this migration will result in extended daylight hours and the end of total solar eclipses. Furthermore, the weakened tides will disrupt coastal ecosystems and marine life. As the Moon ascends to a higher orbit, Earth's rotation continues to decelerate, marking a slow but p...
